Tinley Park, IL Trash & Recycling: Recycling Requirements (2026)

11 defines as covering all single family detached residences within the village. The program requires weekly collection of recyclable materials at the curbside, run separately from the normal refuse collection but scheduled for the same day as that refuse pickup, using trucks and equipment designed specifically for recyclables. 11 defines recyclable materials as newsprint, paper, recyclable plastics, aluminum cans, and glass of all colors, and defines the program area itself as every single-family detached residence in the village. 12(B) restricts who may purchase or collect these materials: no person may collect recyclable materials within the program area except the village-designated refuse disposal contractor, closing off the option of a resident selling or diverting recyclables to a third party.

14: it must properly handle all recyclable materials picked up from residents, is responsible for their sale, and cannot send recyclables to a landfill without the Village Manager's prior written approval, so the program is built to keep material out of the waste stream rather than functioning as an alternate trash pickup. 10, which covers weekly collection of household waste, landscape waste, and recyclable materials together rather than billing recycling separately. 99.
